EVERY non-slr digital has noticable shutter lag. This is because of several reasons:
The CCD has to be cleared for the shot. Autoexposure / autofocus chores performed...... Most cameras allow you to press the shutter halfway to focus and set exposure --- that helps. Panning with the action helps too. BUT if you want the shortest delay get a SLR. BTW you lose the LCD preview with a SLR - it's just used for playback.

Some digital cameras have a noticable delay from when you press the button to when it takes the picture. So when Gordy is DSing the rotor on a parked minivan- You might miss the shot where it goes through the windshield. I have an older Sony digital camera and the delay is annoying when taking picures of my boys - by the time the shutter clicks, they have run off. If you find one that is quick on the click, let me know. The boys will wonder when they grow up why I only have pictures of the back of their heads. *************************************************************************** This message is intended only for the use of the Addressee and may contain information that is PRIVILEGED and CONFIDENTIAL.
